O my, there is no defence for such an obvious political move Too bad Mr Mundine wasn't parachuted into PMs seat...
Captain ScoMo!
'Captain's Call'....😂😂😂😂
Keep going ScoMo, not long now😉
How low will he go!?
Arguably another captain's blunder by our interim PM. Mundine is decidedly unelectable for a range of unstated reasons!
What does he think of Warren's thoughts on Australia day, bit awkward, no?
Rediculous move
Another incident to seal te LNP’s fate at election time. It’s almost like they want to scuttle their ship......
Another Captains call.
Captains call. 😂 This would have been decided for him and he would have been instructed to make it so.
When has he ever admitted he was wrong?
Captain Morrison hasn't learnt anything. Hope he is on the bridge when his ship sinks
Captain’s call, you’re not a captains arsehole PMScuMo!!
They've lost the seat
MinhKular
14luxor Defend defend
MinhKular Despite the fact he’s probably not S44 compliant as his business is in receipt of a government contract? don’t you research this stuff?
MinhKular Are his staff doing a Trump and keeping him away from running the country? Makes sense.
They would have lost the seat anyway but now it’s certain.
Fool
Maybe lieutenant Cook as our next governor General the fact that's he's dead shouldn't prove to much of a problem. It's only a mouthpiece for a foreign ruler after all.
Liberals must hate their feet, they keep shooting them.
What’s his view on DV just asking for a friend auspol
I’m beginning to think ScottMorrisonMP is Labor’s stooge. He never fails to make them look good & they just need to smile, say nothing & wait lol.
Captain Foreskin !!!
The Morrison gov’t is now nothing more than a laughable disgrace. Not a single policy announced, just rubbish gimmicks and statements all adorned with Morrison’s smug face. Buffoonery in action.
I never imagined that Morrison was this thick. I never liked his policies, but I imagined he must have a degree of intelligence. He doesn't.
Three liberal PMs ... 3 crappy captains picks Abbott - knighthooding Prince Phil. Turnbull - giving away our money to a “charity” no due diligence - nothing Morrison - installing a former Labour Party president as a liberal candidate. Anyone see a pattern here ?
The really frightening thing is that it seems Morrison genuinely thinks he's doing the right thing in all his stupid actions. Not a matter of not listening to advice, just that he believes he's right. And that is so dangerous. He can wreak so much havoc before May.
You're making it hard Scomo for me to vote for you.
These are the sorts of things that the Lib Party has been doing for some time now; integrity, what’s that? Shafting good people to install factional and powerbroker apparatchiks/hacks has become the norm. Democracy is dead in the Lib Party and why any Party member remains-mystery
Well Prince Philip has already been knighted under an earlier Captain's pick !
good luck with that
When backing yourself has an exclusion, it’s usually the PM that exemplifies this condition.
All the makings of a Dictator
Did this man learn nothing from the mistakes made by TonyAbbottMHR and captains calls? auspol
Does it matter? He’s not going to win
Captain’s Calls have not proved to be a strong seller for former Coalition PM’s. Another lesson they haven’t learnt!
virgotweet Well he would, wouldn’t he? After all, Morrison believes everything he does is inspired. (Idiot)
It would be hard to come up with a better example of pure waffle than that statement from Mr Morrison.
Sco Mo's Prince Philip moment.
The 'captain's call' is not a 'fair go' because he's a lying hypocrite!
This has clearly pissed off the typically white lower class, bogan, racist labor voter, who clearly get affended by the prospect of an intelligent indigenous man in parliament.
'It's not as if I'm just a lieutenant' shouts the Iterim PM.
Cooked
Given the criticism of the LNP as being universally white men in suits, I look forward to the support of 'progressives' with regard this eminently sensible decision.
What deep connections does Warren Mundine have with the Gilmore community? And how could he possibly serve them when also serving his lord and master
The captain's call could have Section 44 issues as his company is a government grant recipient. The grant runs until Aug 2019.
nyunggai will make an excellent member of parliament and representative for the people of Gilmore. I wish him every success in the coming elections.
There is no defense for this and that Morrison is even trying, says it all. Not about the people but about the party. Soon the cross bench will govern, apartisan politics, it's already happening Yee Haaa! Can you see the future? Real democracy returning.
Bordering on the ridiculous.
Our politicians are a disgrace
ScottMorrisonMP Something tells me this isn't going to go well.
the capt call is just like Abbott capt call on Prince Philip
South Africa all over eh

NSW Liberals slam 'idiotic decision' to parachute Mundine into seatAngry Liberals are tearing up their party membership on the NSW south coast over the decision to parachute in Warren Mundine to run as a local candidate. AlexHBeech When has ScoMo NOT made an idiotic decision. This one is so off the wall I’d like to know what’s at the bottom of it. Did he owe Mundine a favour? AlexHBeech I’ve voted Labor my entire 40+ year voting life but my dislike of billshortenmp and the current labor team saw me about to switch to LNP. The Mundine decision however will see me ditch those plans to vote for ScottMorrisonMP. I’ll vote independent next Fed election AlexHBeech Will the voters of Gilmore confuse Warren with Anthony Mundine?
